The purposes of this study are to understand the severe accident phenomena, to establish the simulation method for the experimental test, and to assess the current models in MELCOR for future improvement. This paper presents the results of the PHEBUS FPT1 post test analysis using MELCOR computer code, version 1.8.4. The entire PHEBUS facility has been modeled; the core, the primary circuit including the steam generator, and the containment vessel. Both the thermal hydraulic and the fission product behavior have been investigated. The code simulation results of the thermal hydraulic behavior show good agreement with the experimental data, The fission product release and transport are calculated using the CORSOR models in MELCOR code and the results will be compared with the experiment when the experimental data are available.

The electrochemical impedance spectra of polyaniline film prepared by cyclic voltammetry have been investigated in 0.1 M aqueous sulfuric acid solution. Charge transfer resistances were rather low at the oxidized states in agreement with the conductive behavior reported at these potentials. The corresponding exchange current densities were very high. Large values of capacitance associated with the polymer have been found which vary as a function of the electrode potentials. An equivalent electrical circuit has been deduced from the impedance data. It was therefore possible to obtain the parameters of the ionic mass transport within the film.

This paper is a study on the computer simulation of the characteristics of the superconducting fault current limiter. Input variable parameters are apparent power, load resistance value, line resistance value and so on. Initial fault current 2 times larger than the trigger current is required to reduce the switching time of SFCL. The propagation velocity increases abruptly, the transport current is several times larger than the ciritical current. In this paper, the switching time is calculated to be 323$\mu$ sec, and the initial fault current is 19 times larger than the critical current. Because the trigger coils are bifilar winding, they have little impedance in superconducting state. After fault occurred, the limiting coil acts as a superconducting reactor and the trigger coils quench at a critical current. Without the SFCL in the circuit, fault current after the load impedence is shorted might be increased to 1100A. The fault current is, therefore, successfully limited by the superconducting limiting coil to 100A determined by the coil inductance.

An improved hybrid solar cell was obtained by focusing on the effects of ligand for CdSe nanoparticles, in the active layers. The performance was compared by mixing nanoparticles capped with pyridine or oleic acid for the acceptor material into poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester based active layer. The solar cells with pyridine capped CdSe nanoparticles showed a power conversion efficiency of 2.96% while oleic acid capped CdSe nanoparticles showed 2.85%, under AM 1.5G illumination. Formation of percolation pathways for carrier transport and a reduction in the hopping event resulted in better performance of pyridine capped nanoparticles.

The nonlinear, time dependent photon transport equations of Frantz and Nodvik, which describe the amplification of an optical pulse in an active medium, are modified to a simpler equation which describes only the amplification of energy. with this equation, the output energy of the high power YLF(Nd3+)-Phosphate Glass(Nd3+) Laser System is calculated. When the stored energy density Est is 0.10J/㎤, 0.16J/㎤, 0.228J/㎤, and 0.50J/㎤, and with the assumption of uniform population inversion density, the final output energy of this laser system is 5.38J, 176J, 317J, and 283J, respectively. The gain saturation causes distortion of the output beam. This phenomenon is described in detail at the first three rod amplifier systems in the case of E=0.228J/㎤. The peak current and decay time constant of the flashlamps, which are used to obtain population inversion in the active medium, are investigated. The flashlamp driving circuit which has optimum operational performance should have {{{{ SQRT { LC} }} time about 100$\mu$sec.

Interface-engineered junctions with $YbBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{7}$ as the counter electrode were demonstrated. The junctions exhibited excellent Josephson characteristics with a Josephson critical current ($I_{c}$) ranging from 0.1 mA to 8 mA and a magnetic field modulation of the $I_{c}$ exceeding 80% at 4.2 K while maintaining complete c-axis orientation of the counter-electrode layer. The$ 1\sigma$ spreads in $I_{c}$ for junctions with an average $I_{c}$ of 1-2 mA were 5-8% for 16 junctions within a chip, and 9.3% for a 100-junction array. Our dI/dV measurements suggest that a theoretical approach taking into account both a highly transparent barrier and the proximity effect is required to fully understand the Junction characteristics.ristics.

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have enabled the integration of AI technology into image sensors, such as Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV), to detect specific traffic incidents. However, most incident detection methods have been carried out using fixed equipment. Therefore, there have been limitations to incident detection for all roadways. Nevertheless, the development of mobile image collection and analysis technology, such as image sensors and edge-computing, is spreading. The purpose of this study is to estimate the reducing effect of the incident detection time according to the introduction level of mobile image collection and analysis equipment (or connected vehicles). To carry out this purpose, we utilized data on the number of incidents collected by the Suwon branch of the Gyeongbu expressway in 2021. The analysis results showed that if the market penetration rate (MPR) of connected vehicles is 4% or higher for two-lane expressway and 3% or higher for three-lane expressways, the incident detection time was less than one minute. Furthermore, if the MPR is 0.4% or higher for two-lane expressways and 0.2% or higher for three-lane expressways, the incident detection time decreased compared to the average incident detection time announced by the Korea Expressway Corporation for both two-lane and three-lane expressways.

Noise in homogeneous extrinsic semiconductor samples is calculated due to distributed diffusion noise sources. As the length of the device shrinks at a fixed bias voltage, the ac-wise short-circuit noise current shows excess noise as well as thermal noise spectra. This excess noise behaves like a full shot noise when the channel length becomes very small compared with the extrinsic Debye length. For the first time, the analytic formula of the excess noise in extrinsic semiconductors from velocity-fluctuation noise sources is given for finite frequencies. This formula shows the interplay between transit time, dielectric relaxation time, and velocity relaxation time in determining the terminal noise current as well as the carrier density fluctuation. As frequency increases, the power spectral density of the excess noise rolls off. This formula sheds light on noise in nanoscale MOSFETs where quasi-ballistic transport plays an important role in carrier transport and noise.
